So, I got this vintage Chanel from Japan. Paid on Monday night and it was here Friday afternoon. It was authenticated in the Chanel subforum.
It's a 4 series (1996-1997). That means she's as old as my teenage daughter! The leather is amazing and it looks like the bag wasn't used much. The hw is also 24k gold plated (says in the booklet). Here she is:

I will do the same for my other 2 daughters, get a Chanel bag from their birthyear ( 2005 and 2008). They can have their birthyear bags when they're older and ONLY IF they want it.

Thanks faith. My teenager is not (yet) into bags but the 2 little ones are. Thursdays the 7 yr old has music class and I usually bring the 3 yr old to keep me company in the waiting area. This Thursday they were toting their cute little girl purses and when we got there my 7 yr old suddenly burst into tears coz she forgot her music book, but not her purse!

Thanks Frugal. It is a beauty. The quilts are not super puffy, a little puffy but the bag's still looking good. I told DH of my idea but he doesn't know I got one already, lol!

faith, what burger? When we were there, we had the best burger ever. Slater's 50/50. The patty is half ground beef, the other half is half bacon! Hello heart attack! Lol! It was so good though. I think there's one in Anaheim too.
